Chapter 16: Catching a turtle in an urn
Huang Ying trotted all the way out of the mountains and forests to the official road, he didn't dare to delay, and rode a fast horse to the governor's yamen. At this time, the sky was already bright, and Huang Ying was about to enter the yamen, but was stopped by the officers and soldiers guarding the door.
"Big brother, I have something urgent to see an adult, be accommodating." Huang Ying pleaded.
"Who are you? Why do you want to meet adults? Is there a government certificate? The officer guarding the door asked.
"I'm an official in Meizhou, and here is the seal of Lord Xu in Meizhou, please check it." Huang Ying said, took out the seal letter and handed it to the officers and soldiers guarding the door.
The leader looked at it and said disdainfully: "Meizhou County Order, that onion?" One of his subordinates is also worthy of the governor? Roll, roll, roll! "The gatekeeper gave the order to evict the guests.
"It doesn't matter if I get out, if the minister has three longs and two shorts, can you afford it?" Huang Ying asked.
The officers and soldiers guarding the gate did not dare to slack off when they heard this, and immediately took Huang Ying to see the governor.
Huang Ying entered the yamen with a big grin, saw the governor, and handed the letter of the Xu County Order to the governor, the governor was taken aback, and pondered in his heart: "Bai Cangshan is not dead, not only stealing official silver, but also the direct planner of the Meizhou bloody case, he has committed a heinous crime, and now he wants to kill Lord Qincha, it is really bold." Lord Qincha is a popular person around the emperor, if I save the minister, I will make a great contribution, and when the time comes, I will be rewarded for meritorious deeds, and maybe I will be promoted to three levels in a row. No matter how hard the backstage of Baicang Mountain is, how can it be compared with the emperor? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and I want to take advantage of it. ”
"Your Excellency, this matter is urgent, please give an order quickly. The Qinglong swordsman has returned to Meizhou County to move the rescue troops, and when the time comes, we will be ambushed on all sides, and Baicang Mountain will not escape. Huang Ying urged.
"Alright! I'll send troops there right away. Our people have never been to Maple Ridge, please lead the way. The governor then mobilized two hundred officers and soldiers, disguised themselves as civilians, and followed Huang Ying to Maple Ridge. The road was not far, and they arrived in two hours, Huang Ying looked at the terrain of Maple Ridge, chose the best ambush location, and ordered everyone to hide in the jungle and wait for the arrival of a group of outlaws in Baicang Mountain.
Besides, Bai Cangshan rushed to Maple Ridge with the Five Elements Bagua and Twelve Phases, and Xu Wenbin was escorted in the middle. Coming to Maple Ridge, Bai Cangshan looked around, found no suspicious signs, and let out a long breath. He chose a narrow mountain road leading from Maple Ridge to Meizhou, and ordered the killers to lie in ambush on both sides of the mountain road and wait for them.
"Lord Xu, you'd better not expose your target, if you don't cooperate with us, be careful of your head." Bai Cangshan warned.
"Lord Bai doesn't have to worry about Xu, I am what you have in your pocket, how dare you not cooperate? Just ask Lord Bai not to kill innocents indiscriminately. Your purpose is to send the minister, as long as the minister returns to the west, the rest should not be pursued. Xu Wenbin pleaded.
"This is natural. Actually, I don't want to kill innocents indiscriminately, it's just that some people know too much and have to get rid of them. Bai Cangshan said.
Xu Wenbin stopped talking, and thought in his heart: "I don't know how Huang Ying and the Qinglong Swordsman have done things?" If the governor's yamen refuses to send troops, there will be a big trouble. I hope that Huang Ying can live up to expectations. ”
"Everyone, pay attention, the target has appeared, don't expose yourself." Bai Cangshan admonished.
Xu Wenbin looked up at the five hundred meters ahead, and there were twelve fast horses, and the people on the horses were all dressed in rivers and lakes.
"Could it be that these people are the ministers of the Imperial Mission? How do you dress up like this? Seeing that they are all strong and strong, they must have some ability. Xu Wenbin pondered in his heart.
Twelve fast horses came to the front in a blink of an eye, Bai Cangshan gave an order, and the killers came out from both sides, Bai Cangshan jumped to the front and shouted: "Bah! I opened this mountain, I planted this tree, if you want to pass from here, leave to buy road wealth. ”
Seeing this, the twelve fast horses picked up their fellows and prepared to rush over.
"Want to run? Not that easy? Come on! Bai Cangshan shouted.
The killers swarmed up and wrapped twelve fast horses in the middle.
"Protect your lordship." The man walking in front gave an order, and Eleven rode a fast horse to escort the middle-aged man in the middle.
"Who are you? Why are you blocking the road? The middle-aged man shouted.
"You're Chincha-sama! We've been waiting for a long time. Bai Cangshan said with a smile.
"What do you want?" The middle-aged man asked.
"Don't want to do anything? We are here to send you to the western heavens. My lord, don't blame us for being ruthless, only blame you for not coming to Meizhou. Don't worry, we don't want to kill innocents, as long as you stay, we will spare the rest. Bai Cangshan said.
The middle-aged man listened, hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay! I'll stay, man, do you have to count? ”
"Don't worry! People in the rivers and lakes speak in a word. Bai Cangshan agreed.
The middle-aged man immediately ordered his guards to evacuate as soon as possible, these guards were all loyal and righteous people, how could they abandon Lord Qincha at a critical moment?
"Don't worry, adults, they're all a rabble, we can handle it." The guards led by him showed off their swords and performed light skills and flew to Baicang Mountain.
"Just in time!" Bai Cangshan unhurriedly drew his sword to face the battle. The two fought for more than ten rounds, and the guard was a little overwhelmed. Another guard rushed over to help, and Bai Cang's sword engaged in battle. Both brothers were skilled swordsmen, and after a few rounds they had beaten the two guards out of breath. The rest of the guards saw that there was nothing they could do, and their responsibility was to protect Lord Qincha, and they did not dare to leave Qincha easily.
The Five Elements Black Demon and the Twelve Phases surrounded the rest of the guards, Xu Wenbin didn't know what to do when he saw this scene? Lord Chincha never dreamed that there would be such a catastrophe, so he was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he said incoherently: "Who are you? I have no grievances with you, so why do you harm me? If you come for money, I can consider letting you go, but if you want to kill people, I don't know anything. ”
"May I ask Lord Qincha, did you rush to Meizhou to investigate the Meizhou bloodbath?" Bai Cangshan asked.
"Not an investigation, but a drop of the investigation into the case. The real culprit of the Meizhou bloody case has been brought to justice, and the official bank has been handed over to the state treasury. As for those murders and arsons, the emperor will no longer pursue them, they are all vendettas in the rivers and lakes, and there is no evidence. Chin Cha calmed down and said calmly.
Bai Cangshan was taken aback when he heard this, and wondered in his heart: "The real murderer has been punished?" The official bank was transferred to the state treasury? Could it be that Ma Zhenyuan's escort of dirty silver was exposed? Could it be that the big tree of the imperial court has fallen? No way? That big tree is intertwined, no one can shake it, even the emperor is afraid of three points, how can he easily comply? It must have been a lie made up by this messenger to survive. I'm going to test him and see what he has to say. It has been said that if you can name the real murderer, then everything is true; If you can't say it, it's nonsense. ”
"May I ask Lord Chincha, who is the real culprit? How were those official banks seized? Bai Cangshan said tentatively. I don't know how to answer? After pondering for a moment, he said lightly: "The real murderer is not someone else, but a member of the imperial court, a celebrity around the emperor, this person is against the emperor, secretly colluding with the scum of the rivers and lakes, and snaring the henchmen to prepare to usurp the throne." Fortunately, the emperor had already noticed it, summoned him to the palace, and designed to take him down, and all the official money was confiscated. If I'm not mistaken, you are the former Meizhou County Commander Bai Cangshan! You were originally a thief in the green forest, but you used money to open up the joints and turned into a Meizhou county order. Lord Bai, am I right? ”
When Bai Cangshan heard this, he was skeptical, and in order to confirm that it was correct, he continued to ask: "May I ask which official is who?" How did you know all this? ”
"You don't have to say it explicitly, you and I know it." Qin Cha said coldly.
"You're lying! You're here to escape the maze. Brothers, everyone go up together, and don't let go of a single soldier. Bai Cangshan ordered.
Xu Wenbin listened to it and sweated, he knew that Bai Cangshan was mad, as long as Lord Qincha died, he would not be able to live. In order to delay time and wait for reinforcements, he walked up desperately, stopped Bai Cangshan, and asked angrily: "Bai Cangshan, you said that the eldest husband is full of words, why did he go back on his word?" If you want to kill them, kill me first. These guards are innocent, so what's the good of killing them? ”
"Lord Xu, they know too much, and letting them go will only ruin our good deeds. You are a scholar, you should know in your heart, who can keep secrets? Only the dead. If they don't die, we will suffer. You go away, I don't want to kill you. Bai Cangshan said.
How could Xu Wenbin leave? He still wanted to distinguish a few words, and Bai Cangshan kicked him out of a foot.
Seeing that the group of Baicang Mountain was menacing, Lord Qincha knew that he was fierce and unlucky, and he couldn't hide, so he shouted loudly: "You robbers and grass robbers, some of them let the horses come, and today I will die and find someone to back." With that, he rode his horse and rushed out.
Bai Cangshan and Bai Canghai saw it, and they rode up to meet it. The brothers and Qincha fought together and fought for more than ten rounds without a win.
Those guards fought with the Five Elements and the Twelve.
Xu Wenbin never expected that Lord Qincha would have such good martial arts. He looked left and right, hoping that the reinforcements would arrive in time, and when he was looking, he saw countless officers and soldiers emerging from the grass, and the shouts and rushing sounds shook the birds in the forest and flew out of the woods. Xu Wenbin took a closer look and saw Huang Ying leading the officers and soldiers out from the wings, Chen Chunsheng and Master Shang leading the officials to kill from the front, and Governor Zhao with the officers and soldiers to cut off the way back from behind.
Bai Cangshan never expected that so many officers and soldiers would suddenly appear at the critical moment, he looked at Xu Wenbin with fire in his eyes, and scolded: "Okay, you Xu Wenbin, you are actually prepared with both hands." Remember, I must avenge this revenge. Brothers, let's go. Bai Cangshan said that he fled from the direction of Meizhou, where the strength of the officers and soldiers was weak, with Bai Canghai, the Five Elements Black Demon and the Twelve Phases.
"Bai Cangshan, it's not so easy to run. I'll come too. Qin Cha shouted and rushed over, five meters away, a harrier turned over and fell in front of Bai Cangshan.
"Who are you? Judging by your skills, you must be a fake. Bai Cangshan asked in amazement.
"Not bad! The old man is the Qinglong swordsman Dugu Qinglong, who is known as 'a sword to set the rivers and lakes'. Bai Cangshan, the old man has always suspected the cause of your death, and for several months, the old man has made a secret visit and finally confirmed my guess. Today, this is your grave, come and go! The Qinglong swordsman said, waved his sword and went straight to Baicang Mountain.
Bai Cangshan was so frightened that he trembled, how could he dare to face the battle? He turned around and ran back, but Huang Ying blocked the way.
Xu Wenbin came over and shouted: "Two heroes, keep people under the sword." Bai Cangshan is the key figure in the Meizhou bloody case, and keeping him can find out the real culprit. ”
The Qinglong swordsman listened to the sword swinging, grabbed Bai Cangshan's shirt with his hand, and lightly mentioned it, Bai Cangshan became a prisoner of his crotch.
After a fierce battle, Chen Chunsheng and other officials and the officers and soldiers of the governor's yamen arrested all the five elements and the twelve phases. Bai Canghai saw that the situation was not good and fled in panic, was caught up by Chen Chunsheng, and was about to be arrested, when suddenly a masked man was killed in the forest, and he used light skills to rush to Chen Chunsheng, this person's martial arts were extremely high, and Chen Chunsheng was knocked to the ground with one move. Taking advantage of the chaos, he lifted Bai Canghai and disappeared into the forest with three vertical and two jumps.
